The Midnight Game – the game where you try to evoke the spirit, Midnight Man. If you invite him you have to walk around the house with a candle until 3:33. If the candle goes off Midnight Man catches you and sends the worst nightmares till 3:33.
I think it may be helpful to understand the story. I hope it is at least a bit scary, please comment.
English isn't my first language... Sorry for mistakes.
Do you know this game?
Never play it ...
Never! Never! Never!
You don't want to meet him ...
Don't invite him
Because if you do ...
You can't win with him
Even if you think you can ...
You will never win!
He will always follow you ...
Midnight Man always finds you ...
Always! Always! Always!
A game. It seems to be the beginning of something innocent. Normal.
But is it fun if you can't decide whether you want to play it? My family has condemned me to eternal nightmares.
I didn't summon Midnight Man
He came to me when I was born
Because he is my older brother ...
Why!
It never ends...
Midnight Man always follows me
I don't want it! I don't want it!
Why don't you walk away?
I couldn't decide!
I didn't want to play this game
This game has no end
Does it mean that the nightmare never end?
But ...
But ...
I just want to finish it!
Is a candle an escape from him? No. In fact it's only an illusion that allows to think that there is something that can stop him. I still want to believe that it is able to defeat him.
But it's just a small flame in a sea of darkness.
However even such a small flame can light up the dark room.
Gon ... you're the flame that lights my life.
I just have to wander around the house with a candle and Midnight Man won't catch me.
But the candle may darken.
Then you can only do a circle of salt.
This is another escape from the house ...
However it is an uncertain solution, can it really stop him?
No
Nothing can stop him.
They say that if Midnight Man is coming you can see a human shadow in the dark.
I always see it clearly
A tall, thin man always follows me
Now the game goes beyond the rules because I notice long, black hair, as black as the darkness that surrounds it
When I look closer I see black, empty eyes. I look into his eyes and no light seems to be reflected in them. As if the light avoided him.
Scary eyes which never shows any emotion
And when I look at them I'm not myself anymore...
I act like hypnotized, obeying the will of the Midnight Man
He wants the candle to darken
So I just blow out the flame
Whispers
Apparently it is another sign of impending Midnight Man
But why does he repeat only one thing?
"You're a doll of darkness"
Then all the voices around me fall silent
His words seem to be louder
Why is it not a whisper?
No
Around me is silence
His monotone voice rends it
In this silence my cry should become louder!
It is louder
And no one wants to hear it
There is also the coldness
It is as if the sun was not able to get where he is
The cold paralyzes my body
I'm not longer able to escape
The rules say that when Midnight Man catches you he will send to you your nightmares until 3:33
So why mine doesn't end at this hour?
It lasts the whole time ...
Is it really such a pleasure to torture me, Illumi?
And why do you say I am your beloved brother?
The love is not torturing someone!
Because Midnight Man is with me I feel like an empty shell
I can only sink into my own madness ...
And do what he wants ...
No! No! Noooo!
Leave me alone!
Someone ...
Somebody help me!
Gon ...
Please!
I can't live like that
I'm going mad ...
And then nobody will help me ...
I ...
I ...
I want to live a normal life!
My name is Killua Zoldyck
Illumi Zoldyck is my brother
We were born in a family of assassins
The fear shouldn't exist for us
But in my life it exists
I'm afraid of my brother
And I'm afraid of myself
